“George Washington University (GWU) President Ellen Granberg condemned the projections of “Glory to our martyrs” and other anti-Israel slogans onto George Washington University’s (GWU) library on October 24.”https://jewishjournal.com/news/united-states/364737/gwu-president-condemns-glory-to-our-martyrs-slogan-projection-onto-gwu-library/
It seems only a hate crime applies to one who disagrees with the Left or disagrees with the murdering of innocent Jews. In Sydney, Australia those who chanted “Gas the Jews” were allowed to carry on right in front of the police. However, a man carrying an Israeli flag was jumped upon by the police and forcefully removed and told to leave and not to come back. If he did come back he would be ARRESTED FOR “BREACHING THE PEACE”! All of this in a so-called multicultural democratic society. WHAT A DIFFERENCE ONE DAY MAKES!

‘A Liberal candidates’ Federal Election campaign posters and vehicle were vandalised overnight in what has been described as a “personal” and “nasty” attack.
Graphic and sexist language was scribbled across the advertising material belonging to Zoe McKenzie, who is contesting for the Victorian seat of Flinders.
One or more perpetrators used black spray paint and wrote offensive phrases such as “liar”, “grub”, “f**k you”, and “grubby c***” on corflutes in the electorate.
A swastika was also drawn across her forehead on at least one of the posters.
Ms McKenzie’s team shared a video of her trashed campaign vehicle to her official Facebook profile which showed sexist language written on all sides of the car.
Treasurer Josh Frydenberg said it was “utterly disgraceful and unacceptable”.
“The vandalism and language are shocking. We expect in our democracy to be able to debate the issues in fair and a balanced way,” he wrote in response to the clip.
A spokesman for Ms McKenzie said the signs have been targeted and defaced across the electorate since February.
“With our campaign car being defaced overnight with the most vile language, it is now clear that there is an orchestrated campaign which goes well beyond vandalism and now includes damage to property and threatening attacks,” they said in a statement.
“It is personal, nasty and does not reflect the Peninsula community we all know and love.
“Our party and independent opponents say they want to see more women in Parliament and when they get a strong female candidate, this happens.”
SkyNews.com.au was also provided with a photograph of another Victorian Liberal candidate whose poster was defaced.
Liberal contender for the seat of Dunkley and former Survivor Australia contestant, Sharn Coombes, had her eyes scribbled out and the swastika symbol drawn across her forehead.
Dr Dvir Abramovich, Chairman of the Anti-Defamation Commission, described the rise in the use of the symbol, once used by Nazis, as “troubling” and condemned the actions.
“This is a hate crime, pure and simply and the escalating virus of Neo-Nazi vandalism has that is spreading like wildfire has to stop,” he said in a statement.
“We deplore these ugly actions for what they are: a direct assault on our democracy and our share ideals.”
He added it was an “insult” to the memory of brave Australian soldiers who sacrificed their lives in World War II when it fought Nazis.

THIS WOULD BE A HATE CRIME IF PERPETRATED AGAINST A LEFTIST!
One would think that a Jewish family would be safe in their own nation, Israel! Well, think again!!
‘A Jerusalem family says they escaped by a “miracle” after their car was surrounded in an Arab neighborhood and pelted with bricks that smashed out all of the windows, narrowly missing them, Channel 20 reported Wednesday.
Rivka Stern said she and her husband were driving to the Old City of Jerusalem Tuesday from their home in Ra’anana in central Israel with their daughter Maki when they were attacked.
“We were traveling to pray at the Kotel and WAZE took us via At-Tur by way of Mt. Scopus,” Stern told Channel 20, referring to the Arab neighborhood on the Mount of Olives across from the Old City.
She said her husband called to check with security before they traveled to ensure the route was okay, and were told it was safe to travel there, just not at night.
Maki said that as they were on the main street of At-Tur heading towards the Old City, they suddenly heard shouting and the back of their car came under a barrage of rocks.
“Tens of youths surrounded the car and my husband locked the doors,” Stern said. “We knew that something terrible was happening behind us. From in front a lot of bricks were thrown at us and the Holy One blessed be He saved us.”
The windows were smashed and the Arabs tried to open the doors but failed.
“My husband tried to get out of there, but we were stuck in a traffic jam from both sides,” she said, adding that “nobody came” to help them.
“There was serious panic because we thought it was the end,” she added.
Stern called the police who arrived within 10 minutes, and in the meantime the Arab driver of a minibus in front of them was able to help by moving his vehicle enough to let them pass.
Stern said another Israeli car with a young ultra-Orthodox couple arrived a few minutes later, also with its windows smashed out.
She showed one of the paving bricks that was thrown through the windows.
“When the say on the news a ‘stone attack,’ you imagine small stones,” Maki said. “These were bricks … you can only imagine if one hit you, you would be dead.”
Police said the incident was caught on security cameras, and the family went to a police station afterwards to give evidence.
The attack occurred the same day that Israeli police announced that “calm” had been restored and removed a ban on Arabs congregating at the Damascus Gate of the Old City, where evening riots have been taking place for the past week.’https://worldisraelnews.com/israeli-family-on-way-to-pray-nearly-killed-by-arab-mob-in-jerusalem-saved-by-miracle/
In the UK ‘A police force has been challenged over its “gross inflation” of transgender hate crime statistics, with figures posted on its social media account labelled “a falsehood”.
Last month West Midlands Police’s LGBT+ Network claimed on Twitter that “2 in 5 trans people” had experienced a hate crime in the previous twelve months, citing Stonewall as their source.
However, official Government estimates suggest instances of hate crimes occurring against transgender people are closer to one in 80 or even one in 200.
‘Exaggerated’
Harry Miller of Fair Cop, an organisation which opposes hate crime legislation, has written to the force asking it to explain the “exaggerated” figure.
Miller, a former police officer, said: “The government estimates that there are between 200,000 and 500,000 trans people in the UK, meaning that, according to your estimations, between 80,000 and 200,000 incidents of hate crime against trans people in the past 12 months.
“Such a figure would be deeply shocking if it were true.”
He cited the official Government figures which state only 2,540 hate crimes took place over the same period and queried how the force came to publish a figure “which has been exaggerated by between three and five thousand per cent?”
‘Criminally negligent’
Miller continued: “This criminally negligent statistic presents the trans community as being at unique risk of violence”.
He also mentioned another social media post by the force featuring a trans police officer with a taser, which he said “might reasonably be said to be countering an entirely fictitious narrative of violence with a very real and present threat of violence”.
He added: “This is cynical, sinister, dangerous and can do nothing but undermine public confidence” in West Midlands Police.
Survey
The group’s figures were taken from a 2017 YouGov survey commissioned by Stonewall on hate crime and discrimination as experienced by LGBT people.
There were fewer than 6000 respondents, of which only 14 per cent identified as transgender.
According to the report the figure actually relates to “a hate crime or incident”, which include false accusations of hate crimes, even where no crime has actually occurred.’https://www.christian.org.uk/news/trans-hate-crime-statistics-grossly-inflated/
